| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown, gold, and red on a cream ground, with an elaborate symmetrical arabesque and interlace pattern filling the field on either side of a central vignette. The vignette presents the quartered coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bavaria — displaying the blue and white lozengy field, the Palatinate lion, the Franconian rake, and the Swabian lions — surmounted by a royal crown. The denomination '5000000 M' appears in bold brown numerals in the upper left and right corners, with the bank name 'BAYERISCHE NOTENBANK' lettered in a rectangular panel below the arms, and the full denomination 'Fünf Millionen Mark' in large red Fraktur script across the bottom banner. |
